The Bookstore Scene
One For the Books
With so much inspiring natural beauty, it’s no wonder Fort Bragg is home to so many artists of all mediums. But somewhat less visible is Fort Bragg’s thriving author scene, from fiction and non-fiction to poetry. There is also a varied book shop scene, including lots of used/recycled options.
“There are possibly more poets per capita here than in any other county…” says Joe Smith, author of a number of poetry collections including Sappho’s Island.

Celebrate the art of tattoo.
The Triangle Tattoo and Museum was founded in 1986 by tattooists Mr. G. and Madame Chinchilla. It is one of only a few public museums in the world dedicated to the display of tattoo artifacts. Whether you’re looking for new ink or you’re just fascinated by the rich and colorful history of tattoo culture, Triangle is a must-visit. Of particular delight are the “women’s wall” exhibit and the Japanese antique tattoo handtools. There’s nothing quite like it.
The Guest House Museum
Preserving and interpreting the history of Fort Bragg and the Mendocino Coast.
